>> it's clearly a new jeb bush. and you can tell by watching him on the debate stage and on the stump. i talked to him some about donald trump. it's a subject that jeb bush seems now after several months excited to talk about and excited to hit hard. listen. >> this guy's not going to win the nomination. that's the basic point. he's not going to win the nomination because he's not a serious candidate. and all the other candidates seem to be intimidated by him but i'm not. he's a bully. he's not a serious candidate. we need to change direction as it rilts to national security. >> it's interesting. you saw his superpac backing jeb bush put out a commercial today, a video that has been on the air waves talking about donald trump, it says that jeb bush is the only candidate willing to stand up to the bullies. >> we don't usually see jeb bush doing interviews and people have been complaining. why does donald trump get so much coverage and press? he agrees to a lot of interviews. jeb bush i imagine is feeling he should do

it's a little bit hard to tell with jeb bush, but i think that in waterloo, iowa, tonight, jeb bush has just announced that he is going to pick a woman for a running mate. he's going to pick a female vice presidential running mate if he gets the republican presidential nomination. i think that's what he said. the caveat here is that it's jeb bush. and so sometimes, particularly when he thinks he's got something important to say, he kind of winds up to it and doesn't exactly execute right and it's sometimes hard to know what he means when he talks. but i think this is -- judge for yourself. he may have meant something else entirely but i think he said he wants to pick a female running mate. >> i think my dad loved ronald reagan that his loyalty was proven out. as a result, he was given responsibilities that allowed him to really add value to the relationship. that kind of relationship i think is really important. and should i be elected president, i would have my vice president, i think she will be a great partner. did i say that outloud? we always talk about this with one gender in mind

look no further than jeb bush' s struggle. funded by a $100 million dollar super pac that was meant to "shock and awe" other candidates into not running, he' s now in single digits. trump' s increasingly violent language has electrified his supporters. he has mainstreamed prejudice. divide and conquer is his strategy, and thus far it is working. some republican leaders fear that trump' s bitter rhetoric is damaging the gop brand. yet, trump is only as powerful as his performance at the ballot box. his competitors will try to beat back his ideas as we approach the all-critical iowa caucus and new hampshire primary. in the end, the people have the future of a political party, but the nation as well. what do you think? tweet me and use the hashtag #matteroffact. connect with us anytime on twitter, facebook, or our website, matteroffact.tv. >> when we come back -- is fernando: once again, a critical issue of national importance is being captured by ideology. facts and reason get tossed to the curb. i' m talking about gun control.

john: john kasich in jeb bush. much more of an all or nothing for john kasich, jeb bush could go on a little longer. who do you think, of those two, has a greater likelihood of a breakthrough? nicolle: jeb challenged trump to a debate today. i think -- i don't think jeb bush could have imagined this is where he would find himself, four in the establishment line with the do or die day, but that is where he is. it's not an enviable position but he is making the most of it. he has shaken off all the kinks in his campaign he was suffering from a few weeks ago. he will see if you can write that to success. john: i have said for a while that jeff was done, but -- that jeb was done, but no doubt bush has shown greater improvement. kasich has been on a down slide, bush has been on the upside. not much in the numbers, but it feels as though jeb is freer now from so much of what was weighing him down, and that freedom may unlock an ability to perform and find a moment where he could break. nicolle: and that is what he is des

for jeb bush i think jeb bush believes that donald trump is bad for the republican party and he sees himself as one of the only people willing to stand up to him. i think what matters is what does that extend to. carpet bombing him with television ads by the super pac? we don't know. does that extend to saying he's not a serious candidate. jeb bush had a good debate performance and advisers will bristle when they say it's too late to matter. there's still six weeks left. jeb bush is a defined quantity in the minds of voters. i'm not sure how much he can do to move the needle. >> defined quantity is a way of saying built in high negative. some would say it's prohibitively high. we don't normally cover elections until now. so shoot down this proposition. the moment when trump says to bush, i'm fixating on this again. where he says who is talking, jeb? jeb says i'm talking right now. i believe that was a moment in the "rocky" movie where he says that's all you got and apollo creed walks away? that's the moment for jeb bush. trump is like look at this and changed things for him. yes or n

>> i've always liked jeb bush. i think he may have the wrong last name for this election but i do think he is really a great candidate. i think the most important thing tonight was trump saying he wouldn't run as an independent. i think that will mean a lot for the republican party not to h he that drag on their electoral votes. >> jose, a lot of good words for chris christie, some surprising ones maybe for trump. again an unscientific focus group here but these are the kinds of conversations that republicans all across the country are having these days. >> steve kornacki, thanks so much. >>> up next, the fed could be poised to raise interest rates today for the first time since george w. bush was president. what the rate hike means and whether it's going to be good for bad news for our personal finances. phil! oh no... (under his breath) hey man! hey peter. (unenthusiastic) oh... ha ha ha! joanne? is that you? it's me... you don't look a day over 70. am i right? jingle jingle. if you're peter pan, you stay young f

jeb bush has nothing to lose. nobody that is a donald trump supporter is going to vote for jeb bush. he is doing what he thinks is right and showing principled conviction and showing guts and leadership. and it's a wide open lane for him. nobody else is taking it on. so i'm very happy to see it. i also am very happy to see that he wouldn't answer your process questions. whether he's going to -- whether he prefers donald trump or hillary clinton doesn't have a thing to do with his qualifications to be president. >> wait a minute. the bush campaign is all over the newspapers talking about doing due dill yans whether they can back out of the pledge. you have to ask the question right now. he signed a pledge to support the nominee and his campaign is looking to get out of it. he should be willing to answer that question. >> he should have a campaign that shouldn't leak he is thinking about it. >> i'm a hell of a lot more interested in knowing what the paleo friendly liquor is he is going to stay on for christmas than

and one person you hear over and over is jeb bush. his campaign will say, no, not at all, no chance we will stay in through iowa, new hampshire, and beyond. we have a path. increasingly, a lot of his donors do not believe that is true. this is the most critical week of this campaign, i believe, for jeb bush. the rise of ted cruz, for all that worry about donald trump, people worry about ted cruz being the party's nominee. watch stage right to see if anyone is on the verge of leaving. >> a terrible year for jeb. end it on a better note, abby? >> i got back from spending a week and a half in san bernardino. and that investigation continues to expand in ways that i think are pretty surprising. a lot of it's pointing to perhaps an intelligence failure, which puts ted cruz in a really tough spot. he's supported the national security agencies' intelligence or program that would roll back some of their intelligence gathering efforts, and it's not just rubio that's going to be hammering him on that. we see chris christie coming out of the woo

jeb bush has enough money to wait this race out. ted cruz has flat out said that is his plan. >> you do not drop out because you are not getting votes, you drop out because you are running out of money. jeb bush and donald trump have a lot of money. >> brian, i want to take us back to 2008, before that election will be giuliani was leading the way similar to donald trump. we know that rudy giuliani lost to john mccain. i am not quite sure on the history, what do you think the forecast is in regards to trump standing strong come 2016? >> that is the history, what will happen is in february when you have the iowa caucus, a new hampshire vote, south carolina, nevada, now people are being forced to actually say this is the candidate that i want to support. by the way, this is the candidate is nominated, will be the gop's presidential aspirant. that is a huge question. while we are really entertain right now by comments, what will be interesting to see is rather the folks in iowa decide to back a cruise or a trump. frankly, the profile f

>> i love jeb bush. so i'm very glad to see this jeb bush who's willing to fight, who's willing to show the hunger, who's willing to show the thirst, the commitment to be in this fight. i never doubted it. i'm glad america is getting to see it. i think from a tactical point of view going after donald trump is brilliant for jeb, first of all because i know a lot of the people on that debate stage and frankly other than lindsey graham, jeb is the only one showing the guts to go after donald trump despite the fact i know so many other people on the debate stage think that donald trump is a bully and what donald trump is doing is hurtful to mark, hurtful to the republican party. yet they're not willing to take him on. jeb bush is doing that. it's brilliant. he has nobody to lose. nobody that's a donald trump supporter is going to vote for jeb bush. he's showing gutsz, he's showing lead errship. you know what, it's a wide open lane for him because nobody else is taking it on. so i'm also very happy to see it.

he's not just jeb bush the person. he's become the symbol of the republican establishment and donald trump is the anti-establishment candidate. >> right. >> and unfortunately, jeb bush is riding along in this latest poll at 3%. he's not a threat to donald trump but very much a symbol. so by going after the symbol here, he does score some points and remind everybody what is going on. >> which, of course, is very smart from that perspective. now, i will note, again, jeb bush started this fight today. he was the first one to tweet it. it wasn't donald trump who started it. the question is, is it hypocritical of bush to do this? he keeps saying trump isn't a serious candidate and takes to twitter to insult him. >> well, he's not a serious candidate. i think everybody knows that. he's a chaos candidate. you listen to the things that donald trump has said and he's just not serious. anyone who thinks that it's good to be friendly who is a thug from russia and act like it's something positive when this guy caused serious probl

jeb bush was still debating strategy on security issues. (sot/ jeb bush / gop presidential candidate :54- 1:00) "the idea you can prey on people's fears is not who we are as a nation, it is not who we are as a party" while frontrunner donald trump stuck to a hardline approach. (sot: donald trump/ (r) presidential candidate 1:05-1:07 "it was a great debate, i really enjoyed it." many of the candidates head to iowa for the holidays where the caucuses are now just 46 days away. chris clackum, nbc news. >> << >> weather ad-lib . the wind will continue to be brisk both tonight and tomorrow as aa few peeks of sun return, but a brighter day will be had on friday as temperatures remain near 30 degrees. we'll be much closer to 40 over the weekend with some decent sunshine before clouds retrn, but mild weather sticks around early next week. in the meantime, safe travels this morning! see graphics. >> authorities continue to authorities continue to investigate a house fire sparked by a propane tank explosion late monday night in newcastle, nebraska. o

jeb, we haven't discussioned jeb bush. i think jeb bush had his best performance yet. i've not been favorable towards had debate. >> benefiting from no expectations or absolutely good night. >> maybe the bar has been set lower, chris, but i thought he had a genuinely good night, a complete performance. chris christie, i disagree. not so much as far as i was concerned. and rand paul, i know he got in by the hair of his chiny hin chin. i appreciate having someone on the stage advancing the argument that every time we open a base overseas, we're not making ourselves more safe, we're making ourselves less safe. >> we haven't talked enough about jeb bush. and people thought that he held his own against donald trump. >> look, had he done this in august, had he done this in september at the reagan library, this could be a different campaign. there is no question about it. this was the jeb bush i think people thought they needed to see early on to prove he could take on this field and appeal to the wide republican base right now. is it enough now? he's down at 3% in some polls

jeb bush saying donald trump can't insult his way to candidacy. >> jeb bush is coming off a strongest debate performance that we've seen jeb bush have. one of the reasons it was because he actually got under donald trump's skin for a minute. donald trump is totally ruined jeb's parade. he didn't think this was the race he would be running. he's been trying to recalibrate. >> and donald trump got in the day after jeb bush and has been on top of this race ever since. and jeb bush's problem now is he's still trying to convince his donors to stay with him instead of all the other candidates are busy cultivating new support, they hope. >> one fast point, too. what jeb said in the same event i think it was a fascinating point. we're going to see more of. saying you guys have the important task. this crucial role. if you elect donald trump that's going say something about you guys. >> it's on you. >> and you know new hampshire the electorate is conscious of their status. >> 25 seconds. last word here. in a way it may not hurt donald trump. it might hurt everyone else competing in new hampshi

will jeb bush do more? will we see "x" from jeb bush? i'm not sure that exists for him. >> he needs to show everybody it's there. i think probably chris christie is the person to look at to really come out and have a moment here on the main stage against all these people. then, you know, as you said with cruz and rubio, rubio has done really well in these debate like settings. you know, it's a question of how he carries it further. >> this is the last debate of 2015. how important is it to get in the news in the next two weeks? >> a lot of people will go home and have family conversations. you want a good head of steam. >> marco rubio and ted cruz and chris christie want to be in the stockings of the iowa voters. zach wolf, thank you. the action begins here at 6:00 p.m. eastern. the undercard in the venetian theater. 12 hours, 50 minutes and 40 seconds. 8:30 p.m. eastern time is the coverage of the main stage debate begins. wolf blitzer is the moderator. dana bash is asking questions. hugh hewitt asking questions. it will be a big import

john: the bush ads have run during a time of horrific media coverage of jeb bush. in thevery few good days media. to me, that overwhelms anything he might spend money on. how many times are they seeing jeb on cable, broadcast tv, digital, print? millionhave spent 31.7 dollars, right to rise, so far this year. it hasn't seemed to do much good. is that wasted money? make a were to suddenly comeback, will there be an argument that that was all a long-term investment on a slow burn? the super pac should have said we are giving this to little sisters of the poor in jeb's name. that would have gotten some newspaper coverage. >> murphy said as he has said throughout the year, we are not going to go after trump because we think this will be a two-person race when the dust and bush.tween rubio i asked paul the question about why are you going after ted cruz , i think some of it is covered to go after rubio and lump them into -- in with other people. excellent point. thanks for coming in. when we come back, more reaction to donald trump's proposal from muslim immigrants righ

it's not fair to jeb bush. look, as i said up top, i have got no pony in this little race, all right? i'm just here to do an honest appraisal of what happened. jeb bush is a traditional politician who did a good job in florida. he doesn't feel it it all right? he doesn't feel the anger. he doesn't feel the frustration. you know what he does feel? he knows that he understands the issues and that he already performed well.5- and he can't believe he is losing to trump. he cannot believe that 29 people that you you saw think he is a nimrod or whatever. and he can't believe it. >> he attacks hillary clinton and president obama these 29 republican voters started turning the dials up big time for president bush okay. my broader point is yes we should be fair to president bush. his strategy of just saying i'm going to be taking on donald trump it hasn't worked as well donald. you got to put yourself in bush's shoes. the only thing he can do. and i agree working.w the only thing you can do is appeal to the american peop

today the bush campaign took it one step further. >> jeb push bush understands what america needs. and what americans need right now is fewer e-mails from jeb bush. donate $25 to the bush campaign today and jeb won't get send you another e-mail for the rest of 2015. for a $50 donation jeb won't e-mail you in 2016 either. and for $100, jeb will drop out of the race altogether. he doesn't want to be here. help him go home. >> i'm jeb bush and i approve this message. >> jimmy: click your heels together, it will be okay. christmas is almost here. every year around christmas guillermo and i put on elf costumes to lighten santa's workload. santa is very busy this time of year. we help him by interviewing kids to determine if they've been naughty or nice. today we had a chat with a young lady who turned out to be very, very nice. yeah, come on in. how you doing? >> good. >> jimmy: thank you, i'll take your note. how are you? >> good. >> jimmy: my name is jimmy, i'm >> hi. >> jimmy: this is guillermo. he's also an elf. >> guillermo: hi. >> jimmy: what is your name? >> elin. >> jimmy: elin?

[laughter] i think the race has been over for jeb for a long time. i think the chip theory of the race at this point -- i think the jeb bush of the race at this point -- people want people more sensible than him. he is a lot softer or a lot weaker than the numbers are suggesting. i don't think this is the year for jeb bush. a lot of things are not in his favor, particularly, hillary and 10 as the democratic -- hillary clinton as the democratic nominee. i don't think that is who republican voters want. while,n

look, i think we did see a different jeb bush. if i had any athletic ability, i would be doing chartwheels and maybe if it wasn't 35 degrees in vegas right now. i think jeb has understood that performing, theaters, making memorable lines, having memorable moments is part of what this debate process is and that it matters. and he's done it. he's done it well. yesterday, the day before, we were not talking about jeb bush. he was, you know, a little snippet here and there. today he has been at the center of all the media narrative as one of the winners of last night's debate. he performed very well, best debate he's had of the entire season. five debates now. and you saw it today. i ran into him this morning at the "new day" set. this was a pumped-up, relaxed, confident, happy jeb bush. not hung over. i think the only thing he could do now better is maybe a little cussing in a debate i think could go a long way, jeb. we can work on that the next time. maybe we can do it in spanish if it's not an fcc violation. look, i think it's a tu

jeb bush starting out the day by calling trump a jerk. in new hampshire. >> i got to get this off my chest. donald trump is a jerk. [ applause ] you cannot insult your way to the presidency. you can't disparage women, hispanics, disabled people. who is he kidding? this country is far better than that. and the idea that he's actually running for president and insulting people is deeply discouraging, to be honest with you. and i think we should reject that out of hand. i hope you're going to reject it by voting for me. but a guy like that should not be the front running candidate of our great party. >> so this comes after trump went after bush on twitter, calling him incompetent and an embarrassment. he then went on to insult jeb bush's family, saying, quote, the last thing our country needs is another bush, dumb as a rock! oh, my gosh. jeremy diamond is at the trump event in cedar rapids, iowa. and he's joining us, but on the phone, because they are doing a routine security sweep there. so, jeremy, where do we begin? i mean, this is just s

but only jeb bush took him on last night. i don't know how you defeat the front-runner if you don't take on the front-runner. >> well, if they are going to take on the front-runner, why didn't jeb do what many as viso visovise advisers were saying, take him on as the nominee. his lack of judgment, whatever jeb has said, the logical conclusion is i would not support you if you were the republican nominee. >> well, there's a lot of discussion about that among republicans. but i think we're more interested in getting donald trump to agree to do what he did last night, to say that he would support the republican nominee. so i don't fault the governor for that at all, but he took him on specifically with national security issues now emerging as the largest issue in the campaign. the governor gave a comprehensive speech on that at the reagan library last august. he was the first republican candidate to lay out a strategy against isis. and i think he came through very well last night. >> one of the national security issues that has
